Chapter 479: The True Rival

Chapter 479: Chapter 479: The True Rival

Everyone present was seeing for the first time what the giant nano-living bodies in other places looked like.

Although this sphere is also composed of metal materials, its surface is almost seamless. Compared to the original mechanical style of the Celestial Patrol, it looks more like a creation from an alien civilization.

The sphere is equally enormous, its shadow completely covering the largest mountain range in Europe. A massive storm zone, like a planetary ring, forms as large amounts of nano dust encircle it.

The battle erupted instantaneously.

Before the giant arm even touched the sphere, a dazzling ring burst forth from the top of the sphere, resembling an angel’s halo!

As the halo suddenly appeared, the snowy mountains below abruptly shattered — the sharp and steep peaks collapsed first, flattening at a speed visible to the naked eye; even the undulating mountain lines lost their usual slopes, as if slapped flat by an invisible giant hand.

A basin appeared at the center of the mountain range that spanned seven European countries!

This breathtaking scene made everyone instinctively hold their breath.

The giant arm was also pressed into the rock by this sudden change.

It trembled continuously but couldn’t climb up from the ground. Chen Xuan could imagine the aerial view: within this newly appeared basin, the metallic giant arm was like a fossil embedded in ancient rock layers, tightly fitting with the surrounding rock walls.

The instantaneous change in altitude caused the streams of river water that were supposed to flow towards the ground to change course and flood into the basin. The violent earthquake further cracked the mountain ridges, bringing out many cracks stretching one or two hundred kilometers. Some of the crevices even spewed red magma!

"What an amazing technique." Ji Lian remarked, "It can make mountains shift and alter landscapes in the blink of an eye."

You might be able to do something similar in the future... Chen Xuan thought, at least Wei, who inherited your power, can achieve it.

Wait... those powerful spells, wouldn’t they be realized through gained insights from this experience?

"Hey, hey, is this about the technique?" Honglian couldn’t help but click her tongue, "Isn’t this power exaggerated? Turning high mountains directly into a basin... Could it possibly control gravity?"

"You’re not wrong." Will replied with a smile, "Its name is Gravity Star."

With these words, two more mechanical giant arms broke through the ground from the mountain’s base, rushing towards the spherical nano-living body.

One in the south, one in the north.

Two halos appeared again in the sky over Gravity Star!

They swept through the sky one after another, dispersing the clouds around the Alps.

With the halo of angels shining, these two mechanical arms were immediately subjected to the same strike, pushed directly into the ground by gravity, and together with the surrounding mountains, became part of a sunken basin.

This time, however, the sunken area was considerably smaller than the central part of the mountain.

"A bit hard to deal with, huh." Will raised his head, examining the enemy with interest—at this moment, his expression was no longer akin to an ordinary tour guide, his tone carrying a hint of undue dignity, "But how long can you persist?"

Rumblings...

At this moment, Chen Xuan heard the roar coming from the ground.

He instinctively looked down, only to find the noise was not from an earthquake, but from hundreds and thousands of missiles launched from the back of the Celestial Patrol!

They shot out from the missile silos atop the machine, starting at an astonishing speed, with no flames trailing behind. The sound just of them tearing through the air was as dense as thunder!

These missiles whistled towards the sky, igniting only when they reached an altitude of two to three thousand meters, instantly transforming into distant light spots.

He recognized this technique.

Wasn’t this the electromagnetic sling cold launch of an intercontinental missile?!

To launch so many at once... Chen Xuan twitched his mouth; did the enemy release them at sea when they were snatching the spaceship in Celestial Patrol’s territory earlier?

The speed of these missiles was equally astounding.

Within less than ten minutes, they appeared in the view of the mechanical giant arm.

The top of Gravity Star changed again, this time into a square halo.

Missiles ripped through the sky at speeds dozens of times the sound barrier, crashing on the head of the nano-living body. One hot nuclear fireball after another burst open, making it look like a hundred suns rising simultaneously atop the mountain!

The light of nuclear fusion overshadowed everything else, making time seem to exist only in black and white.

But Chen Xuan saw clearly that neither the trillion-degree hot fireball nor the shock waves could touch the enemy—they seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, plasma flames keeping a distance of about three kilometers from the sphere, unable to approach any further.

Is this... another application of gravity, a gravitational barrier?

As long as gravity is strong enough, even the surrounding air can be compressed into an extremely solid wall!

The Celestial Patrol’s response was more long-range strikes.

If hundreds of nuclear missiles didn’t work, then thousands, tens of thousands would.

This astonishing density of attack caused the snow mountains to catch fire, and all ice water boiled! When even the air three thousand kilometers away was heated to several hundred degrees, the land’s ecosystem directly collapsed. Lush forests ignited, turning into vast red fire seas; all birds and beasts fled in panic, but not far before becoming torches. Lethal radiation was a concern for later, now the serial increase in temperature alone was enough to claim the lives of all land creatures.

Honglian stood stunned.

She opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to stop it, but ultimately couldn’t speak — all humans underestimated the giant nano-living body, this wasn’t a battle she could intervene in.

Though it wasn’t clear where Europe’s survivors were hiding, their environment of survival evidently equaled a dead end.

Gravity Star’s barrier was also retracting bit by bit.

It seemed to realize that defending like this wasn’t a long-term strategy, so it began to move further westwards. There was the ocean, and the seawater itself was a natural barrier.

However, just as it floated away from the mountain, a mechanical giant arm that had been lurking for a long time suddenly drilled out of the ground, poking at Gravity Star whose altitude had significantly decreased.

Compared to this sphere, the giant arm seemed insignificant, like a thin string tied to a balloon.

Yet it precisely broke through the enemy’s gravitational barrier, piercing into the surface of the sphere!

The latter’s power almost instantly diminished.

Not only did missiles directly land on its head, but the other three controlled giant arms also crawled out of the "basin."

"The outcome is decided." Will declared confidently.

Just as he said, Gravity Star’s vitality seemed to be drained... its subsequent counterattacks looked more like struggles. With the fourth and fifth giant arms joining the fight, it fell to the ground with a boom, smashing a huge depression into the earth.

The storm spinning around it also dissipated, becoming the nutrients seized by the Celestial Patrol.

Next, the battlefield shifted to America.

The nano-living body ruling this place was a gigantic mechanical bird. When it flew, its wings could whip up dust storms obscuring the sky, and the once flourishing city clusters on the west coast now are just nests for it to perch. Millions of human skeletons were nailed onto metal crosses, stretching from the coastal docks to the inland town ruins, like a grand sacrificial ceremony.

But within less than an hour, this giant nano-living body fell to the Celestial Patrol’s hand.

Because the latter had already mastered gravitational powers.
